The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:

1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and
mechanical systems with reference to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol, the arrow
indicates the direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit
door, which results in supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1' is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".
(The voltage value, however, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD
signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations
of the microprocessors used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of
the DC controller PCB and from the output of the DC controller PCB to the loads.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other purposes, and
major changes will be communicated in the form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant Service
Information bulletins and be able to identify and isolate faults in the machine.

Notes Before Servicing

CAUTION:
At servicing, be sure to turn off the power source according to the specified steps and disconnect the power plug.

CAUTION:
Do not turn off the power switch when downloading is under way. Turning off the main power switch while downloading is
under way can disable the machine.

Points to Note at Cleaning

CAUTION:
When performing cleaning using organic solvent such as alcohol, be sure to check that the component of solvent is
vaporized completely before assembling.

Notes On Assembly/Disassembly

Notes On Assembly/Disassembly
Follow the items below to assemble/disassemble the device.
1. Disconnect the power plug to avoid any potential dangers during assembling/disassembling works.
2. If not specially instructed, reverse the order of disassembly to reinstall.
3. Ensure to use the right screw type (length, diameter, etc.) at the right position when assembling.
4. To keep electric conduction, binding screws with washers are used to attach the grounding wire and the varistor. Ensure to
use the right screw type when assembling.
5. Unless it is specially needed, do not operate the device with some parts removed.
6. Never remove the paint-locked screws when disassembling.

Points to Note when Tightening a Screw

For reduction in weight, thin plates are used in some parts of this machine.
In the case of a screw hole with a triangle mark near it as shown in the figure below, strongly tightening the screw may damage
or deform the screw hole.
In the case of a screw hole with a triangle mark, take care not to apply too much force when tightening the screw.

Outline
This puncher unit is installed in the feed inlet unit inside the finisher. It punches holes in paper fed from the host machine according
to the puncher controller PCB instructions. Paper feeding inside the puncher unit is performed by the delivery roller of the upstream
connection machine and the inlet roller of the finisher. In the paper feed path, there are the punch inlet sensor (PS301) and punch
horizontal registration sensor (PBA301/PBA302), which detect the paper feed status and the horizontal registration position,
respectively.

Horizontal Registration Control

The horizontal registration control during punching is performed by the movement of the punch slide unit in the front and rear
directions according to the paper size. The punch slide unit is driven by the punch shift motor (M302). The home position is
detected by the punch slide HP sensor (PS302).

 2. Technical Explanation

Punch Operation
The Punching is an operation performed by a punch to make specific number of holes in paper. The punch is driven by the punch
motor (M301) via a cam. Its home position is detected by the punch HP sensor 1 (PS303) and punch HP sensor 2 (PS304).
During punching, the punch motor (M301) drives to turn the cam, causing the punch to move up and down to make holes in paper.

Punch Waste Full Detection

Punch waste full detection is performed by the punch waste full sensor (PBA303) at the side of the punch waste tray and the
prism inside the punch waste tray. Punch waste full detection is performed by a prism reflecting the LED light from the light-
emitting area of the punch waste full sensor (PBA303) and the light-receiving area of the sensor detecting the reflected light.
During punching, punch waste is collected in the punch waste tray. After punching is complete, if the punch waste full sensor
(PBA303) cannot receive the LED light, it determines that the punch waste is full.
Punch waste near-full detection and full detection are performed under the following conditions.
- Near-full detection
• If punch waste full is detected consecutively five times during the punch operation after punch waste full is detected
- Full detection (punch waste tray detection)
• If punch waste full is detected consecutively 1,000 times during the punch operation after punch waste full is detected

Jam Detection

Outline
The puncher unit is equipped with the following sensors to detect the jam at the punch operation.
• Punch HP Sensor 1 (PS303)
• Punch HP Sensor 2 (PS304)

PS303 PS304

Jams
The conditions for detecting whether a jam has occurred are stored in the puncher controller PCB in advance. A jam is determined
by detection states of the sensors at the check timing.
When the puncher controller PCB determines that a jam has occurred, it stops feeding/delivering paper and notifies the host
machine.

Jam type Sensor Jam description

Punch jam PS303 When the punch HP sensor 1 (PS303) and punch HP sensor 2 (PS304) cannot
PS304 detect the home position of the punch again, even when the specified time
elapses after the sensors have detected the home position during the punch
operation.
Error avoidance jam - When any of the following errors is detected during feeding operation.
• Punch motor (E590)
• Punch shift motor (E593)

 2. Technical Explanation

Power Supply

Power Supply Route

The 24V and 5V are supplied to the puncher controller PCB through the finisher controller PCB when the host machine is turned
on.
The 5V is converted into 3.3V by the regulator IC (IC5) on the puncher controller PCB. The 24V is used to drive the motors and
the 5V is used to drive the sensors and the 3.3V is used to drive the logic.
